An insightful column by @reihan about how @sarahjeong probably got radicalized into her anti-white racism to fit in with Ivy League culture. A real example of 'systemic racism'.https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1026594049749204993 …

That's an interesting thought. A lot of times I think there's a real desire to dispossess the "enemy" group, so it's motivated by a wealth grab (see: slavery). Other times I think it's just aversive ("they're not like us"). But, interesting thought...
I suspect that in most racist cultures, there's a small elite that materially benefits from the ideology, and a lot of hangers-on who internalize the racist norms for their own social, sexual, and career benefits. As Jeong may have done.
